DSView 3 software security
You can also configure DSView 3 software security settings. When the console server is
managed by the DSView 3 software, the DSView 3 server will supply the certificate to the
console server. Under normal conditions, the DSView 3 software will manage the certificate to
clear and replace it with a new certificate as needed. If communication with the DSView 3
software is lost, the DSView server will be unable to clear the certificate and the console server
cannot be used. Click the Clear DSView Certificate button to configure the console server in
Trust All mode.
To configure DSView 3 software security settings:
1. Select System - Security - DSView.
2. Click the Allow appliance to be managed by DSView checkbox and click Save.
FIPS module
The console server has embedded the FIPS-capable OpenSSL that is the combination of the
FIPS Object Module (the FIPS 140-2 validated module) along with a FIPS-compatible OpenSSL
(it is a version of the OpenSSL product that is designed for compatibility with the FIPS Object
Module API).
If an administrator enables the FIPS module, the console server will use the FIPS Object
Module to perform encryption operations. The FIPS module is disabled by default.
When the FIPS module is enabled, the Monitoring - FIPS mode page will show what service
(SSHv2, HTTPS, SNMPv3 and ADSAP2) is in FIPS mode. All security functions and
cryptographic algorithms used by the service are performed in FIPS 140-2 Approved mode.
To enable the FIPS module:
1. Select System - Security - FIPS140.
2. Check the box to Enable the FIPS140-2 Module and click Save.
